All the state-of-the-art tools you need to extend water reservoir
life by controlling sediment are packed into this hands-on resource. It
helps you plan, design and manage both existing and proposed reservoirs
and their associates watersheds. You'll learn to manage sediment for
sustainable development. . .analyze suspended and deposited sediment. .
.and estimate and measure erosion rates.

Packed with clear illustrations
and how-to examples, the book give you the know-how to: Master sediment transport processes in reservoirs + Apply mathematical and physical models to analyze sediment processes + Route inflowing sediment through or around reservoir storage pools + Use turbid density currents to control sedimentation + Empty and scour sediments from a reservoir by means of hydraulic flushing + And much more ...
